PyroGenesis Canada (PYR) has updated its high-quality, plasma-atomized metal powders (for 3D printing) business line.
PyroGenesis previously announced the filing of a provisional patent for a revolutionary plasma atomized metal powder production process (NexGen Plasma Atomization) for use in 3D printing by additive manufacturers.
This process was a significant departure from conventional plasma atomization – a technology the company also invented and coined the term for, which is still considered the gold standard for producing metal powder.
The provisional patent targets higher production rates, narrower Particle Size Distribution (PSD), and has the additional advantage of shifting the bulk PSD into a more desirable distribution.
These advantages enable PyroGenesis to produce for the Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry – a very targeted powder, with little to no waste, at higher volumes and at a lower cost.
P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis, commented,
“Over the past three years, PyroGenesis completed a series of intricate production steps as it readied the NexGen Plasma Atomization system. This has resulted in the most recent milestone, where the company announced that it had moved from sample production to commercial size batch production. With the ability to now produce titanium powder by the tonne, the company is now in a position where it can provide additional perspective on status, and next steps, for both existing and developing opportunities.”
Montreal, QC-based PyroGenesis Canada Inc. is a high-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures, and commercializes advanced plasma processes and high-quality plasma atomized metal powder for 3D printing while creating sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gases.
PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PYR) is up 2.11 per cent, trading at C$1.94 at 12:14 pm EDT.
